What has the success been like for the program so far?
We have had fantastic results throughout the school with the Maritime Program. Numerous students have earned apprenticeships in local industry from studying our Maritime Engineering course (including 6 at ASC) other students have gone on to the Australian Maritime College in Launceston to further study Naval Architecture. Students who completed the Maritime Pathways VET course have gone onto further study at the Australian Maritime & Fisheries Academy at Port Adelaide also. For a list of student destination date please come to the school and check out our Maritime Wall of Fame located near the front office.
What day does Maritime Engineering VET course run?
This course runs every Wednesday, for further information please contact our VET coordinator.
Do you involve local community/industry and Primary Schools with in these programs?
We work very closely with local industry both large and small within this program. We have good working relationships with our local primary schools also.
